What to do for my cat's worsening watery eye when vets are closed?

Question

My cats eye started to get watery last night and it seems to be getting worse today. Most vet clinics are closed and the only one that is open charges more than I can afford. I'm trying to see if someone can look at the pictures to determine what would be the best course of action. I got opthalmologic eye drops from Pet Smart although they do not have a veterinarian strength Terramycin. I'm at a lost and any help would be greatly appreciated. It breaks my heart to see her in pain and discomfort. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | 7 lbs

Terramycin or Tobramycin probably would be the best thing to use in the eye. In the meantime you can use the eye drops you already have to keep the eye lubricated and more comfortable. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=110533 You should also consider putting her on a lysine supplement. Typically when they have an eye that looks like that it is due to a recurrent herpes virus and lysine helps to boost the immune system. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/site/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?s=lysine&hierarchy=&sort=score%20desc Hope this helps. Best wishes!
